I've been investigating switching my desktop distribution from Kubuntu to something more... Seriously maintained. I love debian, and consider it one of the best distros out there, but Ubuntu's KDE variant is downright pathetic.

... and its working quite well with 11.2 and KDE 4.4 RC1.
The packagemanager(zypper) is faster than apt on ubuntu 9.10 for me. Its pretty stable. Dependency hell is definitaly solved with 11.1 and 11.2 .
